Eric Leskowitz, MD, a retired psychiatrist affiliated with Harvard Medical School, joins me in this episode to discuss his book 'The Mystery of Life Energy,' and his documentary 'The Joy of Sox.' He critiques the materialistic worldview of modern medicine, advocating for the inclusion of life energy concepts such as prana and chi. Leskowitz recounts experiments demonstrating the influence of group consciousness and energy on health and performance, including heart coherence studies and the impact of collective meditation on crime rates. He delves into Earth energies, ley lines, and crop circles, proposing that the Earth itself may have healing energies. Leskowitz also tackles the resistance within the scientific community to these ideas and emphasizes the potential for a paradigm shift toward a more holistic understanding of health and consciousness.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike's Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world's wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.
